  • Catching Up with Andrew Griffith

    Catching Up with Andrew Griffith
    Sep 23 2026
    Dan sits down with comic artist Andrew Griffith to catch up and to see what's been going on in his world. Andrew stops by the show every once and again and I had a great time catching up with him. Andrew is currently one of the rotating artists working on the Boom Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic. As someone who knew Andrew's work from the Transformers comics, I was curious if Power Rangers seems like a big departure from Adnrew's previous work.
    We also chat about various other topics including his convention schedule and how you can connect with Andrew if you're looking for some original art.
